Abstract: In order to study the flexural performance of FRP bars RAC (recycled aggregate concrete) beams, 8 FRP bars RAC beams were experimentally fabricated, of which the number of GFRP bars and BFRP bars RAC beams was 6 and 2, respectively. The effects of RA (recycled aggregate) replacement rate and FRP bars type on the failure mode, deflection and bearing capacity of beams were studied by four-point bending test. The test results show that: ①The cracking load and ultimate bearing capacity of the beam both decreased with the increase of RA replacement rate, and the failure mode gradually changes from the compression failure of normal section concrete to the diagonal tensile failure; ②The increase in the elastic modulus of BFRP bars increases the height of the RAC compression zone of the beam, which improves the bearing capacity of the normal section of the beam, but the bearing capacity of the oblique section increases less, so that the diagonal tensile failure of the RAC beam with BFRP bars occurs; ③The safety reserve of the bearing capacity of FRP reinforced RAC beams calculated by the specification is slightly insufficient. It is suggested that when the actual reinforcement ratio is 1~1.5 times of the equilibrium reinforcement ratio ρfb, the design value is 0.8 times of the calculated value of the specification; ④The calculated deflection values of GB and ACI are in good agreement with the experimental values, which can well predict the deflection value of FRP reinforced RAC beams.
